During Sunday's miserable game in Atlanta when things were still going well, Frank grabbed this picture of Cole Hamels on the mound and decided to make it a contest. The winner will get Frank's two tickets to Monday night's game against Miami. Please check out the photos and let me know who your vote is […]
Wow. What a collapse. The Phillies were just inches away from closing within 7 games of a wild card spot and keeping some playoff chances alive, though remind. Instead, the Phillies would end the game 9 games behind the Braves in the Wild Card race and 8 games behind St. Louis. This game had […]

In this quick blurb from mlb.com, Carlos Ruiz spoke about possibly just missing the remaining month of the season to reccover: "I don't want to come back and the injury happens again. I don't try to push it too much — just taking it nice and easy with my running. If I feel something, stop. […]

Check out this collision from two years ago when Kratz played for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Big boy Prince Fielder came barreling around third base, […]

Courtesy Reading Phillies. RPhils GM Scott Hunsicker with Darren Ruf He did it. Darin Ruf tonight hit is 38th home run to break Ryan Howard's team home run record for AA Reading. True, Ryan Howard did it in fewer games, but there were plenty of other times in history that players came close, but […]
After not hustling to first base on a pop up that was dropped by Mets pitcher Jonathan Niese, Jimmy Rollins was benched by manager Charlie Manuel. Thanks to Twitter, Phillies fans took their displeasure to Rollins directly. Here is a sample of what they said:
